Overview
High prevalence of obesity with metabolic syndrome and subsequent high mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases has been currently a severe problem of public health in Europe region of the WHO. The newly phenomenon of children metabolic syndrome is highly alarming. Besides primary and secondary prevention, as well as dispensarisation of obese children, it is needed to find the new risk factors of the development of metabolic syndrome.
This review discusses low birth weight as one of the possible risk factors of the development of metabolic syndrome.
Key words:
metabolic syndrome, SGA, epigenetics, fetal origin of adult diseases
